The graceful woman was nothing but Tang Ting.

The Tang family is a prominent family in Xichuan. Most of the people around here know the Tang family, and some people have seen Tang Ting, but the old woman she is holding is obviously a completely unfamiliar to most people - except for a few people.

Xue Qian first glared at Tang Ting. Obviously she knew very well that the Tang family had been standing behind me. It would be no good for them to appear here, but when her eyes fell on the old woman beside her, she suddenly seemed to have seen something incredible, and her eyes were widened.

She pointed at her and stammered: "You, you-"

“…”

"You are, Zhao—"

Speaking of this, she bit her tongue herself.

The pale old woman, full of tired face, was even more old-fashioned by the scorching sun above her head. She looked at Xue Qian and nodded gently: "Miss Xue Er..."

Everyone knows that Mrs. Yan is named Xue, the second lady of the Xue family, but perhaps over time, even she herself almost forgot her original identity, because she has been Mrs. Yan for too long and for too long, no one has the qualifications to have this memory, so she calls her "Miss. Xue Er".

The person who came was nothing but Zhao Shuyuan!

I once heard that Zhao Shuyuan was originally the maid of Empress Yin when she entered the palace, and Empress Yin was born in Xichuan, so I also guessed that it is very likely that they had contact with the people from the Xue family. Now it seems that this is true.

Zhao Shuyuan looked at her with a pale face, her smile as if it would disappear at any time: "Long time no see us."

Xue Qian still seemed to be unable to believe her eyes: "You actually—"

Zhao Shuyuan said calmly: "I am still alive."

Although she said so, her pale look really looked like a ghost. I even felt that she would disappear in the sun in the next moment, so she subconsciously walked over and led her and Tang Ting to a cool place. Zhao Shuyuan raised her head and looked at me, her eyes flashing slightly, as if something crystal clear was pouring out.

She had only seen me once before when she was awake.

But after going crazy, she stayed with me for a long time. At the moment, her eyes were sober and clear that she could recognize me. Obviously, she should still remember all the things that happened after she went crazy.

She looked at me and said with a little sobbing: "Thank you."

I shook my head.

To be honest, I didn't place any hope on her this time. After all, she couldn't tell the truth about a woman who was already crazy. Even if she could tell, no one would believe it. But when I returned to Yilan Villa in Bishan and knew that she had been sent to her for treatment for a long time, I still put a glimmer of hope on her.

That's why Tang Ting was asked to pick her up.

only--

I looked back at Tang Ting: "Why did it take so long?"

Tang Ting's expression was a little complicated. She looked at me, looked around again, and then whispered: "Miss, there are some other situations. I'll tell you in detail when the matter here is over."

Any other situations?

I couldn't help but frown. At this time, what I fear most was that something was not under my control. Even if I had a way to deal with it, I really didn't dare to distract myself from dealing with other things when facing Pei Yuanxiu.

Looking at my worried look, Tang Ting hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Miss, it's not these things."

As she said that, she glanced around her from the corner of her eyes.

In this way, it shouldn't be bad.

So, I breathed a sigh of relief. When I turned around, I saw that Zhao Shuyuan had let go of Tang Ting's hand, and she slowly walked towards Pei Yuanxiu.

At this moment, Pei Yuanxiu's face had returned to calm.

I thought he would be shocked when he saw Zhao Shuyuan. In fact, he did have a moment of suffocation just now. I clearly heard his panting, but he calmed down so quickly.

Even if Nangong Jinhong had already told him that Zhao Shuyuan was still alive, now, Zhao Shuyuan's appearance can fully prove his life experience and expose his lie just now... Why can he be so calm?

Could it be that it is pretending to be calm?

For some reason, once I have such concerns in my heart, I will find it difficult to suppress my uneasy feeling. After all, I am not facing the women who compete for favor in the harem, nor are they ordinary corrupt officials and powerful bullies.

What I am facing is Pei Yuanxiu!

Just as I was looking at them nervously, Zhao Shuyuan had already walked to Pei Yuanxiu and looked up at him.

Pei Yuanxiu also looked at her indifferently.

For a moment, no one spoke again. Even the villagers who had whispered and discussed before were quiet at this moment, and everyone's eyes were gathered on these two people.

The two of them were silent for a long time and looked at each other. Even if the people around them didn't know the entanglement, they felt a little strange. Xue Qian couldn't help but feel a little angry. She grabbed the hand of the maid beside her and stood firm, then said, "What are you doing here? We are discussing big things. What do you have? When our Yan family finishes talking, you will talk about it!"

At this time, Zhao Shuyuan suddenly smiled.

She turned around and looked at Xue Qian, with an indescribable sadness flashing in her smile: "Miss Xue Er, Mrs. Yan, that's not what the Yan family said at the time."

“…”

"Who in Hongyan Tower was not chosen by the Yan family?"

“…”

"Who else is not carrying the mission of the Yan family?"

“…”

"Now, the affairs of the Yan family have nothing to do with me?"

When she heard her words, many people around her changed their faces. Hongyan Tower is not a secret in Xichuan, but it is not a topic that can be discussed on the table. How many people have entered Hongyan Tower, how many people have withered in it, and how many people have come out alive, not many outsiders know.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I was just guessing before, but now I finally have certain that Zhao Shuyuan, like her former master, Empress Yin, has entered Hongyan Building.

But the Hongyan Tower back then was not like that later. Everyone had to fight like a trapped beast. They just learned some skills and skills - that was also what I had learned hard, how to please men, how to become a woman who can’t live without... Use these skills and skills to survive in the harem, gain a place, and even spy on some useful information to Xichuan.

But the later Hongyan Tower was completely different.

Despite the scorching sun, I suddenly shivered.

Xue Qian's face seemed to be in the snow and ice, with a pale face without a trace of blood. She glared at Zhao Shuyuan: "What do you want to say?"

Zhao Shuyuan turned her head and looked at Pei Yuanxiu, who had been silent and as stable as Mount Tai: "I want to continue what you said just now."

“…”

"Aren't you asking your Miss Yan, do she have any evidence to prove this person's life experience?"

“…”

"I am the evidence!"

As she said, she took another step forward, almost walking to Pei Yuanxiu. The two of them were close at hand. Although she was so weak that she seemed to fall down at any time, her eyes were extremely firm, and even with a sharpness that she had never seen before: "Your Highness, I want to ask you, what kind of heart are you?"

“…”

"No matter whether Yuan Chen is your brother or not, he has followed you for so many years. If the prince in the court recognizes the second, no one dares to recognize the first. He was burned to death in Qingmei Villa in order to seize the throne for you!"

“…”

"Pei Yuanhao, he was so vicious, and he didn't want to hurt Yuanzhen."

“…”

"And how did you treat me? How did you treat Won-jin?"

“…”

"Is it really because you are not the emperor's son, so you have to kill all the royal people?"

Pei Yuanxiu looked down at her. From beginning to end, his eyes were just faint, and there was not even a single movement.

Xue Qian was obviously a little panicked, especially when she heard Zhao Shuyuan's last words, she was even more impatient and stepped forward and said, "What are you talking nonsense!"

"I didn't talk nonsense!"

Zhao Shuyuan said, turned around and said loudly to the surprised villagers around her: "You may not know who I am. I want to tell you that I was also from Xichuan, I also entered Hongyan Tower and the palace. I was originally the personal maid of the second queen of the Supreme Emperor, but later, I became a concubine of the emperor. Even so, I still wholeheartedly loyal to my master..."

“…”

"It's also because of this, I know her secret."

“…”

Pei Yuanxiu looked at her motionlessly, and Xue Qian was already furious and wanted to catch her. Zhao Shuyuan had some strength from somewhere, and her weak body actually waved Xue Qian away with one hand, then pointed at Pei Yuanxiu and said, "He is not the son of the Supreme Emperor at all!"

“…”

Suddenly, the people around him were in an uproar.

The originally quiet front yard of the ancestral hall is now like a boiled soup pot. Although no one quarreled, such a shocking secret was revealed and everyone was unable to calm down. Even I was trembling slightly at this moment.

But the person at the center of the storm was calm.

Even more peaceful than any of us, he looked at Zhao Shuyuan indifferently, as if the words she said just now had nothing to do with him.

Yan Qingchen held the wheelchair and said, "You might as well explain clearly who he is. Who did the empress of the Supreme Emperor give birth to?"

Zhao Shuyuan said, "At that time, Empress Yin, she was not the queen, but the concubine of Xian. The queen at that time was Queen Zhao Lie--" She said, looking at Xue Qian with the corner of her eyes. The latter seemed to be punched in the chest with a fierce punch, which made her whole body shatter. She kept trembling and staggered several steps back. Zhao Shuyuan's face was so painful that she continued to say, "The concubine of Xian, she and Empress Zhao Lie were pregnant at the same time as the imperial concubine, but she only gave birth to one daughter."

“…”

"That daughter is not the daughter of the Supreme Emperor, nor the princess with golden branches and jade leaves, but the one born of her affair with someone else!"

“…”

"But, in order to compete for favor, she exchanged her daughter with the son of a courtier."

“…”
